Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

A steep demand curve implies that the demand is relatively inelastic. In other words, a significant change in price will cause a small change in the quantity demanded.  

A flatter demand curve, on the contrary, implies that a small change in price will cause a greater change in quantity demanded. In other words, demand is relatively elastic.  

A change in price will not cause demand to change if the elasticity of demand is perfectly inelastic or when the demand curve is a vertical line.

A change in demand will be equal to the change in price if demand is unitary elastic.

Healthy Snacks has a target capital structure of 60 percent common stock, 3 percent preferred stock, and 37 percent debt. Its co
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

WACC = 12.45%

Explanation:

WACC= cost of equity * weight + cost of pref. equity * weight + cost of debt * weight * (1 - T)

WACC = 0.6 * 16.8 + 0,03 * 11.4 + 0,37 * 8.3 * (1 - 0,34)

WACC is the weighted average of the costs of the company, so it is necessary to multiply the weight of each source of capital (equity, preferred equity and debt) for its corresponding cost. Debt has a partiuclarity and is that it is before taxes so it becomes a tax shield for the company and taxes in fact reduce the cost of debt, for that reason we also multiply the cost of debt by  (1 - T)
